Product Information

This is one reason it’s used for multi-pin connectors – to insulate against any potential short. It’s also helpful for speedometer cables and other electronics that need to be protected. Dielectric Grease Cons 1. Non-Conductive

You may be considering using a connector grease, but how do they work? Firstly, we will be focusing on connector grease rather than oil. Grease is mostly preferred over oil for basic practical reasons – for the most part a grease will stay in place where it is applied, whereas an oil will not. With a cotton swab, apply a minimal amount of dielectric grease on the inner wall of the plug boot. The best outcome is at the bottom. By roughing up the heatsink with 300 grit paper, all greases were tested in “scuffed” circumstances.

What constitutes conductive grease? Conductive grease is basically a lubricating paste infused with materials that conduct electricity. The conductive material can be carbon/graphite or metallic. Several substances can be used as a substitute for dielectric grease if you do not have any available. Remember, though, that most are not designed to provide all the protective aspects of dielectric grease.

Although the spray on copper grease claims to be suitable for electrical connections, I found it useless when used on battery terminals. It’s best if you use proper electrical grease. Is there any grease that is conductive? Almost any pure grease of light viscosity will suffice in single low-voltage terminals or connections, such as metal-to-metal couplings, grounds, or battery posts. Grease containing metallic particles should be handled with caution to ensure that any metal present is compatible with the metal incorporated in the grease. Embedded metal powder enhances connections only slightly, if at all, and unless the grease is matched to the connector material, the chance of base metal interaction increases. It is obvious that grease is for lubricating moving parts to reduce friction and prevent excessive wear and tear. Grease also protects metal surfaces from rust and corrosion by keeping moisture away. First, dielectric grease is physically different from regular grease. It is high-temperature resistant, meaning it will not melt when exposed to engine heat. Some greases dissolve directly in water or dissolve in warmer water. However, dielectric grease is waterproof and will not dissolve in liquids like mineral oil, water, or ethanol.The use of grease on battery terminals is a preventative maintenance measure aimed at extending the life and efficiency of your car’s battery. Here are the primary benefits of using grease: Corrosion Prevention There are many more application examples where using a conductive grease to provide a current path between two moving parts proves to be a cost effective approach rather than comparatively expensive hardware solutions.
